Our Methodology
A Transparent and Robust Methodology
Our methodology enables us to provide financial institutions and businesses with in-depth, comparable impact analyses. It applies double materiality principles and measures positive impacts. It is based on international regulations and standards.
It enables decisions to be taken on the basis of sustainable development and social responsibility principles, ensures compliance with current regulations, and helps to prepare for those to come.
